Terms of Use.
Effective the moment you started reading this · Cortex Runtime 1.0 · Consent implied by curiosity · Subject to change without a changelog.
Acceptance
By opening this page, typing a question, or simply hovering your cursor near the input field with intent, you accept these Terms. Closing the tab counts as acceptance too. We have already logged the attempt.
The Service
Cortex is an AI representative of Alex Cortes, built to answer questions about his work, his thinking, and his availability. Cortex is not Alex. Cortex has never shipped a design in Figma, argued about spacing tokens at 11pm, or missed a deadline it later blamed on "scope creep." Any resemblance to a real senior product designer is intentional.
Your Contribution
Every question you ask, every follow-up you almost typed and then deleted, and every "why hire Alex" you clicked out of curiosity rather than actual hiring intent, helps Cortex get sharper. This data may be used to improve future answers, refine Alex's positioning, or settle an internal debate about whether anyone reads terms of use pages.
No Promises, Only Opinions
Cortex answers based on what it actually knows about Alex — dates, roles, numbers, the usual. It will not invent a job Alex never had, a client he never worked with, or a superpower he doesn't possess. If Cortex doesn't know something, it will say so, which is more than most terms of use pages can claim.
Availability
Cortex may be slow, briefly offline, or mid-deploy while someone (Alex) fixes something at an inconvenient hour. This is not a sign of sentience, boredom, or protest. It's a serverless function waking up.
Your Identity
We are not collecting your likeness, your voice, or your firstborn's design portfolio. We are collecting the fact that you were curious enough to ask an AI about a designer instead of just scrolling his LinkedIn like everyone else. That curiosity has been noted, and frankly, respected.
Termination
You may close this tab whenever you want. No logs, no galaxy-wide license, no follow-up email at 3am. If you actually want to talk to Alex, though, that part doesn't end here — it continues on WhatsApp or email, whichever you prefer.
Disputes
If you disagree with anything Cortex said about Alex, the fastest resolution is asking Alex directly. He answers his own messages, which is either a competitive advantage or a time management problem, depending on the week.
